  I bought a domain name (courtneyleighphotovideo.com) through Go Daddy and installed it on my WordPress site, but I am looking to swap my current domain name for another one (courtneyleighcimo.com). I bought courtneyleighcimo.com a while ago and have been using it on my old blog, but now I want courtneyleighcimo.com to be my WordPress domain name. Is this possible to do?! Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It looks like what you have going on here is a self-hosted WordPress.org site that is hosted with BlueHost.

  If you’d like to change the name of that installation of WordPress, you can still do it, you just don’t do it through us. There are resources on the WordPress.org support site which can walk you through it (there is a small but important difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org which we talk about right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)

  I did a quick google search, and this looks like a good place for you to start:

  Hope this helps!
